The J\[ew 
Brake Pecan 
THE THINNEST SHELL OF ALL 
THE FIRST PATENTED PECAN 
The Brake Pecan was introduced by Mr. William Brake, Rocky 
Mount, N. C. The original tree at 25 years of age was 1 foot 10 inches in 
diameter, beautifully shaped for a shade tree. It has borne an average 
of more than 100 lbs. of nuts per year for the last seven years. It is re¬ 
markably free from diseases of any kind. Its mother tree from which the 
nut came that was planted to produce the Pecan was over 100 years old 
when cut down and was producing 300 to 400 lbs. of nuts per year. 
The Brake Pecan is characterized particularly by its extraordinary 
thin shell, its regularity of shape, its plump kernels of good flavor and its 
superior cracking out qualities. The nut is of medium size with a shell so 
thin it cracks nearly as easily as a peanut. The kernel percentage runs 
from 60% to 66%. In 1934, Mr. Brake was awarded the 
the Brinkley cup at the Texas Pecan Show for the best shell¬ 
ing Pecan. The Brake Pecan shelled 100% whole halves and 
was 62.7% kernel by weight. 
We are the sole distributors of the Brake Pecan east of the Mis¬ 
sissippi and highly recommend it for home planting. We have 
available a fine stock of straight bodied, heavily rooted trees. 
Pecan trees are one of our specialties. From all of the trees 
we sold in 1937, there has been only one tree reported which 
failed to grow. We are proud of this record and solicit your 
orders for Pecan trees with perfect confidence that you will 
be more than pleased with them. When buying Pecan trees, it 
is advisable to buy more than one variety, unless there are 
other Pecan trees close to the place they are to be planted. It has been proven 
that Pecans bear much more heavily when allowed to cross pollinate.

Coeclon Pear 
A blight-resistant, heavy fruiting Pear tree. The fruit is medium size and is excellent for 
canning or preserving. It is also a good eating Pear if allowed to get thoroughly ripe. 
We have been producing and selling Coeclon Pear trees for 10 years and have had during 
that time, only one complaint because of blight. We did not see the tree which was re¬ 
ported and will always wonder if the trouble was not something else. 
Coeclon Pear 
Several years ago, we top-worked a Keiffer tree with 
Coeclon buds. One Keiffer limb has come out below the 
Coeclon limbs and for 2 or 3 years it has blighted regularly 
while the Coeclon part of the tree is perfectly free from 
any signs of blight. 
There are other blight proof Pears which differ from 
Coeclon in that they have a crop of Pears about once in 
5 years. We have watched Coeclon Pears for 15 years. 
During this time it has borne 13 crops of Pears. There were 
no Pears of any kind the two years it failed to bear, the 
cold weather killed them all. 
We highly recommend Coeclon and sell 
them with complete confidence that they 
will give satisfaction
